Hey folks I know it's a little bit noisy I'm in my car with the fans on
because it's cold I just wanted to mention something that I thought was
going to interesting. I was just thinking about how sometimes we argueabout taking it technological choices, like what framework we use whatever
and I thought of a kind of a real world situation that is kind of like thisand let's say that you're talking to somebody and they're talking about how
much they love their truck and and it's just the best and they can do
anything they want to with it, you know, like what the like whatever I mysudan is amazing theKnowledge all this stuff is amazing like it's does
everything that I need to and you can like argue and argue all day longabout why you're sedan is better your hatchback or you're or the track or
whatever but at the end of the day these things serve different and usecases for different people and so just like there's no one vehicle that can
solve everybody's problems and there's no one JavaScript framework or it's
tool or technology that can solve everyone's problems either it is a vast
world of use cases and user experience that we're trying.
To create and whatever it's just there's so much out there that we're
trying to accomplish with the web and with software in general that therecan't be a silver bullet for for everything that you could possibly imagine
so and keep that in mind next time you are talking with people aboutdifferent things.
I know sometimes I can be a little dogmatic on certain of my opinions. Ikept like especially shallow rendering you should never shallower but um,
most of the time there are nuances and trade-offs that were all making andwe're all just trying to get.Hit by and do our best to avoid you know doing
the wrong thing making the wrong choice but also make sure that we're you
know, and doing the best that we can and keep keep those trade offs in mindand the fact that your problems may not be in line with someone else's
problems, you may have different problems from another person maybe youdon't need to haul number and maybe they do and that's why they like their
truck, you know, whatever the occasion maybe so anyway, especially whenyou're having these kinds of conversations that people be sure.
To be nice to each other and yeah and just keep in mind that your problemsmay not be their problems. Cheers.
